Reviews

"The authors make this unassuming, most studious woman come pulsing
to life....'Notorious RBG' may be a playful project, but it asks to
be read seriously...That I responded so personally to it is a
testimony to [its] storytelling and panache." -- Jennifer
Senior, New York Times
Carmon and Knizhnik write powerfully about the progression of
Ginsburg's legal career. In particular, they make vivid the
development of her trademark arguments ... In her fierce honesty,
resolute realness, and, yes, innate sense of style (those
collars!), Ginsburg emerges as a cultural icon worthy of her own
fanbase -- Kate Tuttle, The Boston Globe
"What a wonderful book: The annotated dissents! The knockout
photos! Why she likes to write through the night! The litany of big
cases she won as a lawyer, and how she picked them! How she made
Bill Clinton cry! Notorious RBG is a laugh-out-loud joy to read."
-- Rachel Maddow
"A deeply original mashup of pop culture and serious scholarship. I
plan to give a copy to both of my daughters." -- Gilbert
King, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Devil in the
Grove
"This breezy, fun and thoughtful take on the life of the Justice
explains exactly why a new generation created and embraced the Cult
of Ginsburg." -- Jeffrey Toobin, author of The Oath and
The Nine
"This rigorously reported book shines a new light on the
groundbreaking cases Ginsburg litigated challenging gender
stereotypes." -- Louise Melling, Deputy Legal Director,
ACLU
"If you admired RBG before, Carmon and Knizhnik will make you fall
in love with her, not only as a feminist hero but a human being."
-- Vogue
"Clark Kent had Superman. Ruth Bader Ginsburg has Notorious
R.B.G.... Carmon and Knizhnik have turned R.B.G's robe into a
cape." -- New York Times Book Review
"[The Notorious RBG] book mixes cheeky fan art with a serious - and
stirring - account of Ginsburg's life and work, covering everything
from her trailblazing legal career to her current exercise
regimen." -- Rolling Stone
"After this treatment, surely, Biggie would agree that RBG truly is
notorious." -- NPR.org
"[F]ull of feminist fairy dust. Read it." -- Elle.com
"[R]iddled with fascinating revelations about the beloved and, yes,
notorious U.S. Supreme Court justice...the book eloquently and
thoroughly demonstrates once and for all that RBG backs her whip
smart, often snarky one-liners with a substantive feminist legacy."
-- Mic
"You may never get to chat with RBG herself, but through the book,
you can let her quotes inspire you and guide your way in all of
life's events." -- Bustle
"In her fierce honesty, resolute realness, and, yes, innate sense
of style (those collars!), Ginsburg emerges as a cultural icon
worthy of her own fanbase." -- Boston
